The Meissner effect describes the expulsion of magnetic fields from a superconductor when it is cooled below its critical temperature. Key features:
• Perfect diamagnetism: Magnetic susceptibility becomes −1.
• Superconducting state: The material transitions to zero electrical resistance.
• Applications: Used in magnetic levitation and superconducting magnets.
